Thanks, but I didn't ask for a summary, I asked for a detailed
description of the original problem which started this thread.

Clément, you've reported the original problem, so could you please
tell more details about it?  What triggers the problem, and how does
it manifest itself to the user?  Is it just due to an attempt to
byte-compile .dir-locals.el, or is it due to something else Flymake
does?  Thanks.
